UN in Egypt

Egypt joined the UN upon its creation in 1945 and has a long tradition of engagement and cooperation with the UN, its main bodies, the Specialized Agencies as well as its Funds and Programs. Ever since, the United Nations’ relationship with Egypt has grown stronger. Today, 35 resident and non-resident UN agencies, employing hundreds of staff, across all disciplines, compose Egypt’s United Nations’ family.
The United Nations in Egypt is committed to ensure a high quality of life for all women, men, boys and girls living in Egypt by developing national capacity and building strong partnerships with the Government, civil society, the private sector, academia, think tanks, media and other national and international development partners.

The United Nations in Egypt advocates for change and provides evidence-based policy and direct support that promotes human rights, justice, equity and prosperity within a sustainable environment.
The UN Country Team (UNCT) members coordinate the delivery of their programs with the Egyptian counterparts and each other under the leadership of the UN Resident Coordinator.
